What CUR8 ticketing helps you do
CUR8 ticketing is built for real educators and organizations, without unnecessary complexity. With CUR8 you can:
- Sell tickets in minutes, not days.
- Offer reserved seating, general admission, or streaming tickets, all from one system.
- Accept donations alongside ticket sales.
- Sell to patrons across the US and Canada.
- Get fast, secure payouts directly to your organization's account.
Everything lives in one place, connected directly to your project.
Creating and distributing tickets
Once your project is created, setup is straightforward. Create your ticket types based on your event needs, choose between reserved seating, general admission, or streaming access, and set pricing, limits, and availability.
When someone purchases a ticket, delivery is automatic. Electronic tickets are sent instantly by email or text message, guests can share tickets with others attending together, and every ticket can be scanned at the door with CUR8's simple check-in system. No printing. No confusion. Just smooth entry for your audience.
Payments, payouts, and accessibility
Your buyers can pay quickly and securely using credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. For your organization, funds are handled securely with multiple payout options, so you can choose what works best for your accounting process.
You can also distribute tickets or coupons directly to CUR8-managed groups such as students, families, or staff, and track purchases and attendance without manual spreadsheets. Everything stays organized and transparent.
Box office and check-in, even for small teams
CUR8 includes full box office capabilities. At the event, use the built-in check-in tools to scan tickets quickly, track attendance in real time, and reduce lines and entry stress for your guests. This is especially helpful for schools, community theatres, and volunteer-run organizations where simplicity matters.
Pro tip: test before you go on sale
Before you open ticket sales to the public, do a quick test purchase using a comp or low-cost ticket. You will experience exactly what your audience sees, from checkout to ticket delivery, so you can make adjustments with confidence. A few minutes of testing saves a lot of last-minute questions.

That is the foundation of ticketing in CUR8. In upcoming training videos we will dive deeper into specific tools like coupons and offers, flex passes, and ticketing reports, so you can get even more out of the platform.
